Very true. The trials against these people better be brutal (assuming they don't all run to Argentina).

It's frustrating now, but having all these cases and cases over ignoring orders is a very important paper trail if we want to civilly resolve all of this. The new DoJ can certainly go after the old one and they have a disgusting amount of cases to comb through to make their case. And a frankly incompetent opposition (it's okay, about 2/3rds of the DOJ quit as of now, I imagine many of the sensible/talented ones realized the incompetence).

A new DOJ might be able to go after the old one, except for one problem: the presidential pardon power is absolute, should he choose to use it.
